2024 State of Origin discussion

[Big Del]

I will be surprised if Selwyn isn't at fullback by the end of the match.

SURPRISE !!

 

[Nashy]

Wasn’t his best but we don’t drop guys like Grant. That’s such a NSW thing to do

I have a 24 hour grace period before I go back to thinking accurately about them.

Please remain calm, count backwards from 10 prior to posting. lol

He'll never get dropped, but Grant hasn't really had the impact on Origin it looked like he'd have after his first couple of games. I suspect he'll come into his own once Hunt retires, though, and he properly owns the number nine jersey.

I don't think it's his ability, I just don't think he's quite as smart on a football field as Hunt.

 

[Aldo]

We looked way better when Hunt and Collins came back on.

 

[McHunt]

SURPRISE !!

No surprise that Walsh didn't last the 80. This is why I keep banging on about needing outside back cover. Billy gets it.

 

[Big Del]

But quite a surprise the way he went out ?
If Selwyn doesn`t play left centre next game there is no god .

He was the spark to a lot of good things last night . What a waste of talent it was to have him on the right side last season .

And further re Capewell .
I heard Freddy say it`s easier for a centre to defend at 2nd row than vice versa .
Makes sense . 2nd rowers are there for a reason . Mobility , lateral movement and acceleration are attributes of elite centres .

It's understandable considering he doesn't have anywhere near as much experience as Hunt. I don't see any advantage to gain from dropping him, he's a future mainstay.

Grant - 89 NRL matches, 9 origins, 8 tests
Hunt - 324 NRL matches, 18 origins, 15 tests

Hunt had nearly played a decade of NRL before Harry Grant even made his first grade debut. He's a wily old fox these days - I'm astounded how strong and fit he is. Good set of hips on the fella!

Yeh man. those hips don't lie. the way he pulled through those tackles especially making Teddy look like the soft bear that he is was quite brilliant. he had so much to do for that last try. I'm wondering if "Dozer" is referring to Bulldozer or if he just puts people to sleep.

Honestly, no. Like Hammer said, they even trained for it.

 

[Big Del]

I remember one series NSW speared Billy Slater more than once and tried to rough him up . Kinda suceeded . Then next game Greg Inglis took over as full back and seemed to take it personally . He stung a lot of Blues players that night .

Maybe it`s Selwyn`s turn to get mean ?

Selwyn is frustrating. So much talent, but so far from perfect.

Take his pass to Taulagi in Hammer's first try last night, which he caught miraculously. We've seen so many tries butchered because of passes like this.

[Mr Fourex]

Also, are they fucking?

I believe that was the intention....ie QLD making NSW their bitch.

 

[Fozz]

Well, Nicho and McInnes are out. Moses and Murray in.

Replacing an underwhelming half with another underwhelming half.

 

[Sproj]

Surely they should have kept McInness in and Young out. What does Young even offer? One of the most overrated players in the game.

 

[Bucking Beads]

I can’t believe they dropped McInness. Mental but whatever floats their boat. They always seem to make changes just because instead of because they’re forced

NSWRL like their thugs.
